Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a first-of-its-kind mRNA system that switches on therapeutic genes preferentially inside targeted cells—an advance ...

Aside from maybe high school biology classes, the first time many people heard of mRNA was during the pandemic because of the ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. MRNA technology was thrust into the limelight during the COVID-19 pandemic, but had been in ...

SMRTS, a smart mRNA system, enables cell‑selective gene expression, expanding the mRNA toolbox for precision cancer therapies.

In two experiments, researchers have found that introducing people to "mental models" about how mRNA vaccination works and how the body protects itself from foreign DNA can preemptively or reactively ...

Cells in the body have to move around in order to do their jobs. During development, for instance, cells are distributed to create and grow tissue. And in the event of an immune response, different ...
